COMMUNITY REVIEWS

my beloved diskworld submitted by ferdoble on August 11, 2011, 3:58pm To describe Terry Pratchett’s books is a difficult thing to do. The disc world series is in a word fantastic. Terry Pratchett, would seem to use the disk world, to take any theme, or know story and then twist it in his own very humorous way. These are not always laugh out loud funny (sometimes they are), bur rather the sort of funny that just sort of lifts your spirits a little bit.

I will say that in some cases there isn’t always a really strong story, sometimes its just his characters moving through one of those twisted themes. I like them all, you may want to start with the Most Von Lipwig story line (“Going Postal” and then “making money”) as at least the first one has a really great story line.

I love to pepper my reading queue with these books to keep all those books that take themselves seriously fresh and interesting.

I recommend reading them ALL.

OR listening to them. The two main narrators of Terry Pratchett’s books are Stephen Briggs & Nigel Planer and they take Terry Pratchett’s phenomenal writing to a whole new level.

The witches save the day....again submitted by Jen Chapin-Smith on August 17, 2012, 12:40pm Sir Terry Pratchett's fourteenth Discworld novel and fourth about the witches of Lancer, "Lords and Ladies" picks up the witches' story following their international vacation in "Witches Abroad." They come home to find that all sort of mischief has been brewing in their native land and the witches must solve it while also solving the problem of rounding out the numbers in their coven.
I highly recommend this and all other Discworld novels. I especially appreciate the strong female characters who are nonetheless human enough to be believable.
